Tamil Nadu Cabinet approves pay hike for government employees

Update : Click here for the order
The Tamil Nadu cabinet on Wednesday approved the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations which will benefit more than ten lakh government employees and teachers in the state. It also decided to increase the retail prices of liquor.

A cabinet meeting chaired by chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami approved the pay commission recommendations after a high-level committee headed by finance secretary K Shanmugam submitted its report to the government recently.

"The cabinet gave its nod for the order to be issued," said a source. There will be 20% hike in the salaries of government employees and teachers.

Government employees had held a series of agitations in the past few months, seeking an interim relief until the implementation of the pay commission recommendations. It even led the Madras high court to pass an order staying the protests as they violated service rules. The employees and teachers withdrew their strike after a stern warning from the court.

Law ministry clears the way for hiking lower court judges’ salaries

The government has set the ball rolling for raising salaries of judges of lower courts with the law ministry proposing the appointment of the Second National Judicial Pay Commission (SNJPC) to recommend pay hikes for approximately 22,000 judges.
The last pay hike, which was a three-fold increase, was given to the subordinate judiciary in 2010 and was applied retrospectively from January 1, 2006, sources in the ministry revealed. The commission will be headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice PV Reddy.
The current entry level salary for a junior civil judge is approximately Rs 45,000 while a senior judge draws close to Rs 80,000 apart from other allowances and benefits. The commission will submit its recommendations in early 2019 and the hike again is expected to be given with retrospective effect.

Bank Unions say no to linking PSB pay to productivity

 Discussion on Financial demands by month end.
Departing from the practice of standard payscales across banks, irrespective of size or financial health, public sector banks have proposed bank-wise compensation for executives, depending on the strength of each entity. PSU banks under the aegis of the Indian Banks Association (IBA) have also proposed wage increases be productivity-linked rather than automatic hikes based on tenure. Unions have opposed both the proposals.
"Bank-wise settlement and productivity-linked compensation are something that IBA comes up with during the start of every bipartite discussion. Unions are opposed to both of them," said Devidas Tuljapurkar, joint secretary All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA). On Tuesday, the IBA had its initial round of discussion with employee associations on wage revision. Public sector banks are trying to bring in the 'cost to company' concept that is prevalent in the private sector. The banker's association plans to make a strong push for a large variable component in the compensation. Like in the pension reform, which was brought in by making it applicable to new employees, they may propose that variable pay be introduced for new hires.
